fresh fish daily

That makes two trips to Le Spa Nordik in the last month… and I WANT MORE! It’s amazing how repeating the process – steam bath/sauna; plunge pool; relaxation – over and over again really does eventually bring the most tightly-wound, leg-shaking-stressball (who? me?) to a level of flopped-out-giggler. It doesn’t happen right away, mind you, and that’s the importance of valuing the process. By the end of the second round, I could feel the calm beginning to win out over the anxiety. By the end of the fourth round, funny sounding kettles became the most wonderful thing in the world. And after the fifth, well, we were the funniest group of people ever to have entered… anywhere, really.

The best news of all? It lingers the next day. This morning, while I usually run up and down escalators, I just stood on it. Not out of laziness, just out of relaxation. Now that’s somethin’.
